When applying waveform D
1Voltage the time, the movable wefting insertion yarn gripper 8 of weft insertion rapier 1 from weft grip position to the weft release position conversion.Then, be under the state of weft release position weft insertion rapier 1 a beginning wefting insertion at movable wefting insertion yarn gripper 8.The withdrawal dead-centre position near, movable wefting insertion yarn gripper 8 from weft release position to the weft grip position conversion.By above-mentioned evolution, weft yarn is left between the wefting insertion yarn gripper 7 and 8 folder filling face 7b and 8b of weft insertion rapier 1.Near the withdrawal dead-centre position, weft insertion rapier 1 is batched weft yarn Y on the quilling position, thereby makes weft yarn Y insert race.Electromagnet 18 is as the magnetic means that batches weft yarn.
As shown in Figure 2, receiving rapier head 2 is prior to weft insertion rapier 1 an arrival wefting insertion dead-centre position.The active receiving latitude yarn gripper 12 of the receiving rapier head 2 of arrival wefting insertion dead-centre position transforms to weft release position in response to the voltage application of being represented by waveform E2 from weft grip position.Then, receiving rapier head 2 is in the arrival of waiting for weft insertion rapier 1 under the state of weft release position at active receiving latitude yarn gripper 12.A 1 weft yarn Y who clamps is transferred to receiving rapier head 2 by the weft insertion rapier that has arrived the wefting insertion dead-centre position, thereby between its folder filling face 11a and 12a.When weft yarn Y was between folder filling face 11a and 12a, the voltage of electromagnet 21 applied interruption, and therefore, active receiving latitude yarn gripper 12 is converted into weft grip position from weft release position.By this evolution, weft yarn Y now is clipped between the yarn clipping face 11a and 12a of receiving rapier head 2, as shown in Figure 3.The movable gripper member 18 of weft insertion rapier 1 that arrives the wefting insertion dead-centre position is in response to waveform E
1The voltage of expression applies, and is converted into weft release position from weft grip position.Therefore, weft yarn Y breaks away from the folder latitude effect of weft insertion rapier 2.Therefore, we can say electromagnet 20 as wefting insertion magnetic force bringing device, and electromagnet 21 is as being subjected to latitude magnetic force bringing device.
Thereafter, weft insertion rapier 1 and receiving rapier head 2 move behind withdrawal dead-centre position separately, make by receiving rapier head 2 fixing weft yarn Y to pass through a race.The active receiving latitude yarn clamping head 12 of receiving rapier head 2 that has reached weft release position near withdrawal before the dead-centre position is in response to waveform D
2The voltage of expression applies from weft grip position and is converted into weft release position, thereby makes weft yarn Y break away from the folder latitude effect of receiving rapier head 2.Therefore, we can say that electromagnet 21 is as loose weft magnetic force bringing device.Thereafter, ryce 16 begins beating operation from retracted position.
By top description as can be seen, gripper head 1 and 2 movable yarn gripper 8 and 12 are respectively when the effect that is converted into weft release position magnetic force from weft grip position under the effect of electromagnet 18-21 disappears, and movable yarn gripper 8 and 12 are converted into weft grip position from weft release position. Movable yarn gripper 8 and 12 driving force of evolution between weft grip position and weft release position is to be provided by the magnetic force of electromagnet 18-21 and gripper head 1 and 2 elastic force own.Therefore, the mechanism that makes movable yarn gripper 8 and 12 make evolution between weft grip position and weft release position will never interfere warp thread, and this just means that warp thread can be avoided damage fully when gripper head 1 and 2 work.
Reliable startup activity yarn gripper 8 and 12 design can guarantee the regularly best of gripper head 1 and 2 open and close operations under magneticaction, thereby are convenient to set the regularly best of weft yarn Y folder, pine operation.On the other hand, be convenient to set the best weft insertion rapier 1 that regularly just can guarantee of weft yarn folder, pine operation and batch weft yarn Y reliably, and pass on weft yarn Y reliably to receiving rapier head 2 from weft insertion rapier 1.Needn't the open and close weft insertion rapier 1 also can catch weft yarn Y.But, should be mentioned that weft yarn Y is directed between yarn clipping face 7b and the 8a, then under movable wefting insertion yarn gripper 8 is in the state of weft release position, movable wefting insertion yarn gripper 8 places weft grip position again, and the layout that such layout is caught latitude than weft insertion rapier 1 at closure state is more reliable.At this moment, also should replenish below a bit.Weft yarn Y is influential to the last introducing attitude of weft yarn Y from the timing of weft insertion rapier 1 pine oil, thereby also influences the quality of fabric.In addition, be easy to set the best quality that regularly also help improve fabric of weft yarn Y from weft insertion rapier 1 pine oil.
Be installed in the electromagnet 18 and 20 and the movable wefting insertion yarn gripper 8 of weft insertion rapier 1 on the slay 17, its mutual position is very near when each electromagnet 18 and 20 is connected.Therefore, electromagnet 18 and 20 magnetic force can act on the movable wefting insertion yarn gripper 8 effectively.Equally, be contained on the slay 17 electromagnet 19 and 21 and the active receiving latitude yarn gripper 12 of receiving rapier head 2 mutual alignment when electromagnet 19 and 21 starts very approaching, therefore, electromagnet 19 and 21 can act on the active receiving latitude yarn gripper 12 effectively.In addition, by the elasticity of setting activity wefting insertion yarn gripper suitably 8 itself and the spring force of leaf spring 9, movable wefting insertion yarn gripper 8 can be to be converted into weft release position from weft grip position at a high speed.Equally, by the spring force of suitable setting stage clip 15, active receiving latitude yarn gripper 12 can be to be converted into weft grip position from weft release position at a high speed.Here it should be noted that the elasticity of movable wefting insertion yarn gripper 8 itself and the spring force of leaf spring 9 should be selected enough greatly so that inerrably clamp weft yarn Y.Equally, the spring force of stage clip 15 also should must be enough to clamp reliably weft yarn greatly.The size of rated voltage V0 should be selected to such an extent that can revolt above-mentioned spring force and make movable yarn gripper 8 and 12 be converted into weft release position from weft grip position.
Therefore, in conjunction with the magnetic force and the spring force of preset, the conversion of movable yarn gripper 8 and 12 between weft grip position and weft release position can be carried out apace by suitably.In addition, establish leaf spring 9 with the aforementioned manner folder and be convenient to set needed spring force.By number that changes leaf spring 9 or the adjustment that its length can easily realize leaf spring 9 spring forces.Obviously, movable yarn gripper 8 and 12 can make loom work under high rotating speed in the high speed conversion between weft grip position and the weft release position.
According to present embodiment of the present invention, use the open and close gripper head 1 of electromagnet 18 to 21 and 2 device, compare the more simple compactness of structure with the disclosed yarn clip board loosening device of aforementioned JP-A-5-195373.In the yarn clip board loosening device structure of prior art, the bar of open and close gripper head directly contacts with gripper head.Therefore, bar and gripper head will be worn, thereby cause gripper head aperture and open and close error regularly.In addition, fricative heat can influence the part precision that constitutes gripper head.Certainly, the deviation of the wearing and tearing of gripper head and element precision can form the obstacle that weft yarn Y reliably passes on to receiving rapier head from the weft insertion rapier head.Yet in the device of present embodiment of the present invention, the conversion of movable yarn gripper 8 and 12 between weft grip position and weft release position is contactless property, therefore, can not take place owing to the direct contact type open and close is handled the wearing and tearing cause and the loss of element precision.
In addition, the gap between the gripper head 1 and 2 that moves on slay 17 end faces is with done with high accuracy.Therefore, electromagnet 18-21 has improved the precision in the gap between electromagnet 18-21 and movable yarn gripper 8 and 12 in the structure of installing on the slay 17.Obviously, electromagnet 18 and 21 and movable yarn gripper 8 and 12 between this high accuracy in gap highly beneficial to realizing the high speed position conversion of movable yarn gripper 8 and 12 between weft grip position and weft release position.
Now contrast Fig. 5 and 6 and describe an alternative embodiment of the invention.As shown in Figure 6, the slay of the weft inserting apparatus of present embodiment is divided into three slay spare 17a, 17b and 17c at the middle part of fabric width direction.Each slay spare 17a, 17b and 17c are bearing on rocker 30 (see figure 5)s by lay sword 29, and rocker 30 is suitable for swinging back and forth by reed driving mechanism (not drawing).Cross side at slay spare 17a and 17c is equipped with electromagnet 18 and 19 respectively.One electromagnet 20 is clipped between slay spare 17a and the 17b, and another electromagnet 21 is clipped between slay spare 17b and the 17c.Each electromagnet 18-21 is bearing on the brest beams 32 by carriage 31.Incidentally, brest beams 32 is used to support and prevents that fabric to the fell plate of bottom offset (drawing), preventing the side shoring device and the expander roll of fabric pincher, and wherein, the position relation between slay 17 and the brest beams 32 will guarantee very high precision.Therefore, high accuracy can be easily realized in the gap that is bearing between the movable yarn gripper 8 and 12 of electromagnet 18-21 on the brest beams 32 and gripper head 1 and 2.In addition, because electromagnet 18-21 and electric wire thereof fixedly install, so can prevent reliably that electric wire from fractureing and electromagnet 18-21 breaks down.In addition, slay 17 overall weights are light, help increasing the speed of beating operation.
